He'll go to St. Louis, become a model citizen, hit 50 HRs and win a gold glove. And nobody here would be surprised.

Wow, what a queen. OK, I'm off the Arod idea altogether.Rodriguez won’t ask to be traded, but he has told close friends he won’t block a deal as long as he’s going to a large-market team.

I would, because they have a fella named Allen Craig who has had a pretty good year.
On another note, I have never really considered A-Rod an attention seeking primadonna type. Just because he has taken max money to play baseball in his career and the landed him in NY, where all the media is, doesn't equate to him craving the attention. Tebow doesn't crave the media attention and he gets it all, especially in NY. He has a WAR of 2.2 this year and one of 3.8 while limited in 2011, I wouldn't say he is done yet, an OPS of .800+ could be doable.
ARod at 3rd and Frazier to left for 5 mil a season. I would do it, it is cheaper and probably more productive than what we just had in the two spots. Ludwick has had a WAR above 2.2 3 times in his career, and just last year it was 0.3.

NO, NO, NO. And anyteam that takes him on, no matter how much money the evil empire throws at them are suckers.
Where we gonna go?
Have you guys watched how terrible he's been? He's done. No bat speed, no foot quickness. Done.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Chad Johnson/Ochocinco/Johnson thrived in Cincinnati. In fact, he was just back in town for the past week despite the fact he hasn't played for the Bengals in years. "Prime Time" Neon Deion Sanders did well here too.
Besides, A-Rod also played in Arlington, Texas, hardly Gotham City.

His OPS is trending downward, big time. It's likely to go even lower next year. And while GABP is a homer park... so is Yankee Stadium. So it's not like he'd see a monster boost in numbers thanks to the ballpark switch. ARod can't catch up to heat anymore. He can barely play defense anymore. He can't stay healthy anymore. And he's a horrible clubhouse guy, from all accounts. You think his stuff would play in that clubhouse? I can't see it.
